Kiss of Life
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful, I recognise this work or maybe just the picture? not sure
another wonderfully worded dedication, thanks for sharing:
\'When willows weep and dungeons deep
depress my dreaming mind,
and nightingale, poor prince of pain,
sweet song he cannot find...\'
this verse made me think of Keat\'s \'Ode to a nightingale\'
remixed with Poe\'s \'Annabel Lee\'
(coincidentally, the very last poem Poe published),
specifically this lines (I altered some words, ahem..):
\'For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful *Lorraine*;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful *Lorraine*;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,\'..

Land of Dreams
L. B. Mek said:

Poetry - exemplifying: quintessential, understated British - brilliance!
(thank you for sharing your source of inspirational happiness, dear poet
and for inspiring my own, feeble scribbled reply):
\'I\'m so grateful to have been welcomed
into this \'oh so private\' - miracle, we\'ve titled
our beloved, blighty
and ain\'t nowhere in the world
like a foreigner - made to feel, at home
than in our beautiful, British isles
where the \'Vast Majority\' - still, stubbornly choose
to nurture their hereditary pride
for those simple treasured gifts, in life
trusting in those subtle, picturesque scenes
of a freshly-pulled pints, enticingly sweating glass
as light-hearted, meaningful warmth - exudes
from beaming, grateful smiles
shared knowingly
between those fated: handful few, in our lives...\'

Holy Alphabet
L. B. Mek said:

different, for sure - but intriguingly-so (for me)
challenging, kinda hard to comprehend fully
a proclamation of faith, that vaguely turns into commentary, maybe?
thanks for sharing

Lost Love
dusk arising said:

A great piece today. It contains so much. The great loss of ones fionest love, the heartbreak and sorrow. Finally you include that time has done it\'s healing thing as it always will. Though tears on recollection are never amiss.

Lifes sorrows serve to illuminate the bright moments
